    Re: Practicing sheaf

    Some meets (SSAAA for example, down Souf) don't allow the two-tined fork.

    So just be aware of that little fact.

    My fork is a Union Tools 3-tine. I also had a 5-tined skinny manurefork that I sawed the outside tines of to have a perfect, parallel-tined, fork - and I got to use it in all of ONE competition before the judge discovered it and made me use someone else's fork.

    I didn't see what the big deal was, skinny tines keep the bag from getting chewed up, and allow less friction for a better throw. But meh...
